    Best Compression

    Hello everybody - i was wondering which compression codec if any is good for storing 44.1 and 96 audio on my pc. I keep running out of space with wave files and I don't like MP3. Just wondered if anyone has a codec they would recommend which is lossless but offers reasonable reductions if file size.

    OK thanks Bernie - I thought about auditioning AC3 but I'll see how this goes first.

    - Apple lossless (probably based on eMagic's discontinued ZAP format)
    - FLAC (free, open-source)
    - Monkey's Audio (free, PC-only last time I checked)
    - WMA lossless (proprietary, PC-only)

    There are others, but I've yet to try them.

    I had tried FLAC but the files were only playable on "winamp" which i'm not interested in . Just added Apple lossless to db poweramp converter.
